material way after a major consolidation.</p><p>This signal is so material that it has only flashed 7 other times since the start of 2020.</p><p>Naturally, if something only happens 7 times in ~6 years, I want to know what the implications are and answer the question, <em><strong>&#8220;how did Bitcoin perform in the past, based on this exact signal?&#8221;</strong></em></p><p>The data is unequivocally bullish:</p><ul><li><p><strong>The average 3-month return = +32.63% (only 1 of 7 cases with a negative return)</strong></p></li><li><p><strong><span>The average 6-month return = +43.4% (0 of 7 cases with a negative return)</span></strong></p></li><li><p><strong><span>The average 1-year return = +153.5% (only 2 of 7 cases with a negative return)</span></strong></p></li></ul><p>Some people will dismiss these findings.</p><p>They&#8217;ll say that we aren&#8217;t in the same environment.</p><p>They&#8217;ll say that we shouldn&#8217;t rely on data from the past.</p><p>Unfortunately, we <em><strong>ONLY</strong></em> have data from the past.</p><p>If you have data from the future, I&#8217;d love to see it.</p><p>In fact, I&#8217;ll pay you a lot of money for that data.</p><p>So maybe you&#8217;re one of those people who will dismiss these findings.</p><p>I can&#8217;t convince you one way or the other, but I&#8217;ll tell you this&#8230;</p><p>I&#8217;m going to rely on the historical data, because what other option do I have?</p><p>In addition to the data that I shared last week, highlighting each time Bitcoin gained at least +20% in a single weekly candle, the weight of the evidence suggests that the worst of the bear market is over.</p><p>And while the path ahead remains murky, the data points to clearer skies ahead.</p><p>Personally, I think that&#8217;s sufficient.</p><p>In the remainder of this report, I&#8217;ll continue to focus on Bitcoin and share the most influential charts on my radar that investors need to know about in order to properly navigate this market.</p>

it.</p><p>But it&#8217;s an uptrend with two caveats.</p><p>1. Yields haven&#8217;t made higher highs since late 2023. If this was a strong uptrend, wouldn&#8217;t yields be steadily rising? Isn&#8217;t the fact that it&#8217;s been sideways for 3 years evidence of a range-bound yield environment? Yes and yes. So it isn&#8217;t a strong uptrend.</p><p>2. While yields have been range-bound and/or rising, stocks have continued to remain in uptrend, bucking the textbook relationship where yields and asset prices have an inverse relationship (all else being equal). Clearly, all else is not equal. Thankfully, I&#8217;ve been on the record since October 2024 that <a href="/__u/cubicanalytics.substack.com/p/yields-probably-dont-matter-now?utm_source=publication-search">yields don&#8217;t matter anymore</a>.</p><p>These aren&#8217;t just <em><strong>any</strong></em> caveats.</p><p>They are monstrous, market-defining caveats.</p><p>So can I really be nervous if the market itself continues to shrug it off?</p><p>Mind you, constant warnings have been issued about surging yields in Japan.</p><p>Yet Japanese stocks are in a full-fledged uptrend:</p><div

index gained +20.6% in 44 trading days.</p><p>Investor sentiment has been in suppressed territory for quite some time now&#8230;</p><p>The longer this choppy action has remained, the louder the bearish narratives became.</p><p>Bears beat their chest to the drum of heightened uncertainty around a new Fed Chair, continued geopolitical risks, labor market conditions, inflation, earnings, etc.</p><p>And yet, here we are&#8230;</p><p>Up +18.2% YoY and +9.4% YTD.</p><p>This is a raging bull market, by all accounts.</p><p>If you don&#8217;t believe me, ask financials (XLF), healthcare (XLV) value (VTV), high-dividend (VYM), dividend growth (DGRO), high cash flow (COWZ), equal-weight S&amp;P 500 (RSP), small-cap discretionary (PSCD), broker-dealers (IAI), insurance (IAK), biotech (XBI).</p><p>Rotation is the lifeblood of a bull market, and the evidence of breadth expansion in recent months and weeks is crystal clear.</p><p>But that rotation has come at the expense of high-beta themes, including tech, growth, and mega-caps, particularly in an environment where the market has priced in significantly higher probabilities for rate hikes in 2026/27.</p><p>Logically, we must ask ourselves&#8230;</p><p>If that period of consolidation is coming to an end and if the market has fully priced in rate 2 rate hikes in 2026 (which it has&#8230; just ask the 6M Treasury yield), which stocks are poised to capitalize on that re-strengthening &amp; decisively bullish behavior?</p><p>Personally, I think the market has been giving us a clue for the past 1-2 weeks&#8230;</p>
